"Welcome to my journal"

Monthly Archives:October 2009

So how’s it shaking with you today? Hehehe it’s a pretty day
today up here in Northeastern Maine. Believe it or not, it’s
52 degrees F and the sun is shining, sort of hehehe. Yep, it’s
a far cry from what it was yesterday and the days before. We
had a little snow falling here and there off and on. Yet now it
seems snow is in the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday :).
Yes I love snow, for a while that is LOL, but after February
it begins to wear on me, being it’s by then turned into an eye
sore. Judy is behind me eating a bowl of cereal and it’s a tad
distracting LOL, being I’m hungry, but finish this I will before
I attempt to feed my face. Our heat went off last night. It seems
to have acquired a bit of humidity in the filter coming from the
oil tank to the furnace. We called our landlord and he called
the furnace guy and he came out and got us up and running
once again. Don’t know how all that humidity is getting in the
line. The furnace guy said he was going to come out another
day and run some silicone over all of the connections. Could
be getting in that way. Anyways, we had heat last night and
we’re hoping we’re not going to have an instant replay from
what we went through last year or winter before last cause
that was plumb aggravating not to mention irritating to get
up to go to the rest room only to find out that it was 40 degrees
in the house due to the heater not working LOL,,,brrrrrrrr!
Thank God for electric blankets hehehehe! Would’nt be without
one for sure. Judy and the crew of the Elm Tree Diner are
still working Monday through Friday cleaning and painting
the old Governors restaurant for opening as the temporary
Elm Tree Diner in a few weeks. In the mean time, Gary, the
owner of the Elm Tree Diner is working long and hard to
get the paperwork and inventory list done for insurance and
all so that he can begin demolition and rebuild on the new
and improved Elm Tree Diner. He’s a one of a kind man.
He made sure that Judy and the crew had a pay check and
were with jobs before anything. It’s not often you meet ones
like that. God has surely been looking out for Judy and me.
It may not look like it at times, but when ever we’ve been
in desperate need, God has sent an angel to pull us through.
Are you as excited for Christmas to get here as I am? I just
cannot wait :). Judy and I both love Christmas as well as
the snow. The first real true to winter snowing is the best.
Seeing those flakes floating delicately down to the ground
and piling one onto the other painting the scenery from here
to afar. It’s a wondrous sight to see all of the trees glistening
in the sunlight. I simply love to play in the snow LOL. I feel
just like a kid again, for a while hehehehe until the old bones
start aching from arthritis LOL, but even then, I still love
to take walks in the snow and make snow angels. I may
try and make a snow man or two this year. The last few
years it’s been way too cold for the snow to stick together
to hold the snowman intact hehehe. Couldn’t even throw
a decent snowball. It would just disintegrate LOL. I know,
cause while Judy was taking a video of me one time during
when I was walking to check the mail in a blizzard, She was
out there with the video cam taking footage of me laughing.
I tried to throw a snowball at her and it just fell apart LOL.
That’s life in the fast lane for ya hehehehe. None the less
it seems God is always watching over us with His Hands
of protection. Are you aware of Him watching over you?
You may not see the blessings that He gives, but they are
there. Just take a look around sometime without the sight
of negativity and you might just see an angel God has sent.
Well I reckon it’s about time for me to be heading back to
that place of recollection through all that I’ve written to see
if I can find a good word or phrase that I can use for the
title for today’s brand new poem. So it’s away I go like
a blizzard lost in slow mo. I believe I found a good title
to use. Now let’s see what I can do with it hehehehehehe
if anything. Here goes something I hope :).

Are You Aware?

In times of trouble
are you aware
that there are answers
found in a prayer?
When you are worried
what do you do?
Do you let Lord God
come and help you?
There will be hard times
as days arise,
but God can help you
with some blue skies.
It takes a moment
of minutes of prayer
to answer troubles
so are you aware?
Say a little prayer
for minutes release
as you let Lord God
fill you with peace.

Well, Ok that might not be one of my better poems hehehehe.
Hey, I can’t always hit the nail on the head LOL. I surely hope
though that I said something that helped you out. If I just for a
minute got you out of your own troubles to smile, then I did my
job. I guess I need to be finding an ending for this so I can get
me something to eat. I’m famished! So, I reckon I should be
telling ya what I tell ya every week and that is I wrote yet some
more poems and yes some more haikus for my haiku lovers out
there LOL. Yeppers I wrote 10 more poems and 22 haiku to
go along with the 11 haiku I wrote for my YoVille messages :).
So all in all I have 10 poems and 33 haiku LOL. Hope you enjoy.
With that said I need to be searching for that old off switch so
I can cease and desist writing hehehe, but before that I need
to wish you a most wonderful week. Remember Jesus loves
you and we do too. Now where’s that blasted off switch hiding
this time????? Found ya in my Immodium bottle hehehehehehe.
See ya CLICK mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm BRUNCH!

Long awaited moments
find their certain seat
sat within the journal
of what does not repeat.
Times we want and wish for
flow into our dreams
just like some old stories
in some magazines.
Sometimes what’s awaited
may not be so great,
for what’s read in stories
might be out of date.
Heartthrob minutes waiting
in times here and there,
we may find debating
whether that we care.
Long awaited moments
could be surely seen
something that was needed
left within a dream.

Many walk so lonely
as they do each day
while they never ever
take the time to pray.
Many are found standing
at the Jordan’s banks
never knowing truly
how to give God thanks.
Many are just staring
lonely as can be
and they may be standing
in front of you and me.
Many need a teacher
to show them how so true
that they can know Jesus
who loves both me and you.
Yet some walk so lonely
while ones stand and stare
as they go on acting
like they just don’t care.

Looking in mirrors
what do you see?
Do you see pictures
of you and me?
Does your reflection
show oh so true
all the emotions
that live in you?
Looking in mirrors
as each day arrives
do you see truthful
inside of your eyes?
Sometimes the mirror
might just reflect
something of horror
that you won’t expect.
Something inside you
that’s been a lie
might just reflect back
what you’ll deny.
Yet our reflections
are but a view
of what that’s outside
and not in you.
Step from the mirror
and look inside.
You might see what that
the mirror did hide.

Here comes old winter
blowing on through
bringing the snow that
it gives me and you.
Here comes the season
winters surprise
soon to be blessings
of snow filled eyes.
Here comes the cool breeze
suddenly seen
painting the hillsides
that were once green.
Snows time has risen
with Christmas so fine
while I’m awaiting
for my eyes to dine.
Snow painted scenery
hillsides and more
are coming quickly
from seasons store.
Painted so freely
with snow oh so white
Christmas is coming,
that I delight.

Tunes of a flavor
heard in the wind
are but to savor
beginning to end.
Mornings arrival
distantly found
shouts of the flavor
of sight and sound.
Looking past minutes
sceneries viewed
sometimes our moments
are misconstrued.
Tunes of a flavor
might just demand
that we each listen to
passing of sand.
Times are a changing
tunes of tomorrow
and all the flavors
may end in sorrow.
So take this moment
to listen and hear
all of the blessings
of tunes year by year.

Hold onto moments
timelessly done
such as the minutes
that had begun.
Sometimes those moments
that you have seen
may in the future
show what things mean.
Don’t lose a moment
that time has found,
for it may be what
shows solid ground.
Sometimes hard times
might be of need
to in the future
help you succeed.
Don’t let your troubles
wear you into,
because they may one day
just strengthen you.

A simple little word
that’s said and then heard
might be what many will
think so absurd.
It’s our perception
that we each will see
that will determine
what’s you and what’s me.
So what you’re saying
that others will hear,
might be heard wrongly
from ear to ear.
A simple little word
that many will say
might be what others
find a little gray.
So make your wording
as clear as can be,
so maybe others
won’t misconceive.

I heard the wind
as it said unto me
soon there is coming
white snow to see.
I heard the wind
blowing so fine
as it decorated
its great design.
I heard the wind
blowing much harder
with every sentence
from a bit further.
Echoes of moments
I heard it say,
soon there is coming
snow for the day.
I heard the wind
with visions of old
blowing in snowflakes
that were so cold.
I heard the wind
saying so true
I’ve brought sweet winter
white snow to you.

Hints of a blessing
show as we stand
sometimes just holding
onto God’s Hand.
When troubles enter
our doorways of time
Lord God is standing
with His Design.
All of God’s angels
wait day to day
listening surely
for us to pray.
Then when the troubles
come into view
God sends His angels
to me and you.
Though all God’s angels
cannot be found
all of His angels
are all around.

In times of worry
heartbeats are found
beating repeating
our troubles sound.
It is our worry
that will surmise
what that a moment
lives or dies.
We will so often
hold onto sin
when it’s the worry
of time and agin.
In times of worry
heartbeats can cease
leaving the worry
less to release.
So let your worry
rest in God’s Hand
and He will help you
to daily withstand.

Here it is another day in a winter sort of way hehehehe. Hey, why
not start off with a rhyme :)!!! So how’ve ya been? Is it looking like
wintertime where you are? It’s feeling like it up here. We’ve had
some snow, but none that stuck or anything. All of the trees have
lost their leaves except for the old evergreens and of course they’ll
look the same as always, green. We are looking to see the winter
snows maybe a little earlier and maybe even a little deeper this year.
Who knows? Not I said tomorrow to today LOL! Well, we had one
heck of a frost this morning. Judy said when she looked out, the
frost was so thick on the car that it looked like snow hehehe. I’m not
in no hurry to begin shoveling snow, but I do always look forwards
to the first good snow. Watching as it floats down in billows is such
a magical beauty. It’s a good thing Judy and I went out when we did
to get all of our fall color pictures hehehe. There are a lot of people
out there right now wishing they had less trees in their yards LOL :).
I just wish my camera would get the same perception of the view as
I see through my eye. Sadly enough, it only captures a portion of all
of God’s beauty. I’m finding myself getting antsy for Christmastime!
How about you? It’s always been a special time of year for me, not
for the gifts from the store, but for the simple feeling it bestows in
my heart. Now it’s time to change topics hehehe. Judy and the crew
are working Monday through Friday each week cleaning up the new
temporary Elm Tree Diner and they are all pooped, being they’re
finding muscles on their bodies that they didn’t know that existed, ouch.
Yep, Judy’s slept with my heating pad once or twice already hehehe.
She is so thankful that when she gets home, she doesn’t have to do
as many of those workers do and that is cook and clean, because I
do all that. So she comes home and hobbles into the PC room and sits.
I’ll let her sit and recoup for a moment and then I’ll ask that deadly
question hehehe, what do ya wanna eat hon? Hehehe I’m gonna get
my label maker out and label everything in the fridge and out with
words such as I don’t know, whatever, I don’t care, whatever’s
easy, and the most often reply, a silent stare hehehe labeled as SS.
Hopefully they will be finished cleaning up the diner soon so it can
be stocked and opened for business. The new diner won’t be ready
until sometime next year being the weather will surely slow down
all of the processes not to mention all of the paper work that needs
to be done long before the building can begin as well as demolition.
Ok, so what else is going on in this part of the world? To be honest,
it looks like things have gone to a winter slow. I think cold weather
slows everybody down LOL. I know it does me. It makes me to just
wanna hibernate. Yet, I cannot. There are things that need to be
done. I am thankful that God gave me the perception that I have
so I can look passed the misery and see the beauty of it all. Many
times though, it’s hard to get out of miseries lane due to all of the
bombardments of problems, but somehow God squeezes in a little
light of hope and it blossoms and grows. Sometimes the little light
at the end of the tunnel looks like a freight train coming my way,
but then God sends an angel attached to the caboose hehehehehe.
It all comes together then. Has God sent you an angel that you
didn’t see until the train passed? The angel could be in form of
a person with a good word and a smile or maybe a bit of scenery
that jumps out and makes you smile. Maybe someone’s generosity.
God’s angels come in many forms. I guess it’s time for me to be
taking my little journey back through all I’ve written to try and
find a good word or phrase that I can use for the title for today’s
brand new poem. So it’s away I go like a snail on turtle’s back
going wheeeeeee hehe. I believe I found a good title. Now let’s
us see if I can manage to write anything worth reading using it.
Here goes, something I hope!!!!!!

Like A Freight Train

Downfalls of patterns
drive us insane
seeming as troubles
like a freight train.
Timeless confusion
might just be seen
as a locomotive
with problems caffeine,
Like a freight train
some times will come
as a misadventure
through setting sun.
People will threaten
your days desires
just like a freight trains
smoke stacks of fires.
Yet surely sometimes
on the caboose
God will send angels
to cut troubles loose.

I hope that you enjoyed that and it at least made a little sense
to you. I’ve had my share of freight trains come through my life.
Many times I thought there would never be an end, but there on
the caboose was an angel with peace. Sometimes it’s seemed as
an eternity though LOL! Yeppers, sometimes those old troubles
will seem to have no end, but everything here on Earth does in
fact have an ending unlike Heaven. I find my peace knowing that
this too shall pass. No matter what it is. Time will move on. OK
so it’s time for me to tell you what I tell you every week and that is,
I wrote some more poems and yes some more haikus. I know
many of you do not understand haikus and that’s OK, because not
everybody understands poetry. It takes taking time away from the
moments to perceive and different view. Most of my haiku are just
concepts that my mind formulates and paints as words. Don’t ask
me how I got this gift hehehe. Ask God! I don’t always understand
how I thought of some things. They just come to me as images 🙂
and I write them down. I wrote 10 poems and I accidentally got
carried away and wrote 23 haiku instead of my regular 22, so with
the 12 haiku I wrote for my YoVille messages I have compiled a
grand total of 35 haiku LOL, so ya got a lot to read huh hehehehe.
Now I believe it’s about time for me to be searching to find that old
off switch to stop writing, but before I do that, I must wish you all
a most wonderful week. Remember Jesus loves you and we do too.
Now where is that bloody off switch hiding this time???????????
There you are ya little bugger hehehe. Hiding in the tangles of my
hair won’t save you hehehe. See ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

God bless from Bill and Judy Pearce

Now on with the poems
10 and 22 +1 oopsy +12 hehe

If You’re Jumbled

Pieces of puzzles
are seen so askew
when we get sleepy
and do not see true.
Sometimes the minute
may be just a phase
pieces of puzzles
a bit of a gaze.
Sometimes all jumbled
the pieces we see
may turn to fragments
of our history.
Places we go to
and things we find
form all the pieces
that make up our mind.
So if you’re jumbled
and cannot release
pray for Lord Jesus
to give you some peace.

Once in a hurry
the minutes we see
may seem as turnstiles
of so much to flee.
When in a hurry
the views all around
may seem as pictures
a little less sound.
So when you feel
the need to just hurry
take a little breath
and pray not to worry.
For if you hurry
with all that you do,
you may just miss
a most wonderful view.
Take a little minute
to breathe in the day
as you then surely
move on your way.

A window like journey
traveled by view
sometimes is all that
many can do.
Many can’t travel
on through the door
and so they dream of
what all they adore.
Journeys to mountains
valleys and lakes
sometimes a dreamer
is all that it takes.
Sometimes the minutes
to here thereunto
can become ventures
of a wonderful view.
Traveled by dreaming
through windows of time
there is so much
ones can do with their mind.

Soon winter’s coming
as each day arrives
displaying changes
in all our lives.
Winter is coming
with every breeze
blowing the grasses
and all the trees.
Winter’s displaying
its own to find
paving the minutes
with time after time.
Winter’s awakened
and coming fast
bringing the rhythms
of shadows to cast.
Soon winter’s coming
just like times of old
bringing the chilling
of snow oh so cold.
Winter is shouting
its words so sincere
it brings the pavement
for Christmas each year.
Winter is phrasing
its words that it says
with the soon coming
bright snowy filled days.
Winter is coming
within its own voice
given by minutes
of timeframes of choice.
Sections of highways
with rhythms of words
are of the patterns
of south flying birds.

In witness of time
we might not agree
of what that’s happened
to you and to me.
We as the witnesses
may not see clear
what that has happened
year after year.
Sometimes our vision
gets a little blurred
with what we’ve witnessed
and what we’ve heard.
When we are seeing
a time that’s ahead
we may be seeing
a mistake instead.
A misinterpretation
of time witnessed true
may make the difference
what we say and do.

Seen in the highlights
of tempos so sweet
are the many blessings
of ones dancing feet.
Placing a dance step
waltzing so true
there in the highlights
I can see you.
You’re in the shadows
dancing so fine
here as I’m dreaming
inside of my mind.
You are my heartbeats
rhythms in tune
taking me places
in a timeless cocoon.
Seen in the meadows
you and I dance
husband and wife
in a timeless romance.
Seen are the highlights
of all I see
are what I’ve memorized
you here with me.

The chirp of a bird
so distant I hear
tells me the story
of year after year.
Beginnings and endings
of seasonal words
are in the echoes
of so many birds.
Birds of a feather
with words they say
tell me the story
of day after day.
The songs so sweet
they sing to me
words of a flavor
I cannot see.
I can just hear them
distantly sing
ending of winter
beginning of spring.
yet now the birds
seem silenced around
and all I hear
is swishing of sound.
Winter winds blowing
words so sincere
saying that Christmas
is almost here.
The birds will return
in coming of spring
and then again
they’ll distantly sing.

Long ago people
make nowadays times
lessons from then days
nickels and dimes.
We with our hurry
to get here to there
long ago people
went slow everywhere.
Times are a changing
as days all arise
building our minutes
with just do or dies.
Long ago peoples
reflections we see
sometimes are journeys
to be what will be.
We’ve many lessons
from long ago times
that should be showing
us times warning signs.

Flowers remembered
as blooming so fine
are many blessings
of a seasonal time.
Pouring out heartbeats
into a day
as it’s remembered
sweet month of May.
Fragrances beckon
what time then will show
what that will come then
after the snow.
Winter will cover
with colors of white
flowers remembered
that I delight.
Now winter comes in
with snow so true
days to encompass
the time so anew.
Each with its blessing
and so much to yield
things to remember
in time’s painted field.

Jumbles of shadows
show us the scenes
yet we so often don’t
know what it means.
Minutes will prosper
as we survive
learning the lessons
while we’re alive.
So many shadows
make not a view
showing us difference
from false or true.
Jumbled confusion
in shadows of time
may paint a porthole
of unseen design.
All of the shadows
may be unclear
until they’re needed
the right time of year.

What’s been happening in your world? It’s been doing a lot of raining
up here lately, yet snow is on its way. My PC weather program is saying
that it could possibly snow a tad Tuesday along with rain. It looks like
winter is coming in quickly. We did though have a beautiful fall that snuck
in through the rain hehehe. Yeppers it’s rained most of time up here most
every day or every other day LOL. I’m kind of looking forward to the first
snow, but I know after 6 months of it I will have grown tired of the white
stuff hehehe. Ok it’s time for the good news. You remember about Judy’s
place of business burning Sunday before last don’t you? Well,, Judy’s
boss called all the employees for a meeting at his house last Monday and
he has decided to pay all the employees 2 weeks vacation pay and he is
renting the old Governors restaurant so that they can start on Monday
the 12th (tomorrow) and clean it up for opening until the new Elm Tree is
built. So officially as of September 28th, Judy and all other employees
of the Elm Tree were on a 2 week vacation hehehehe. He is going to
pay them all what they were getting at the old Elm Tree. The Governors
will be just a temporary Elm Tree diner until the new Elm Tree Diner is
built. Yet Gary said that if the temp does good, he will keep them both
opened for business and just hire more employees to run it, but until
that day and time of decision, Judy and the rest will be working at the
old Governors turning temporary Elm Tree Diner. It is expected to be
opened for business in about a month or so if all goes well. It will take
a bit of time getting the Elm Tree diner rebuilt due to this that and the
other such as paper work as well as the weather, but it will be back in
business by next year I am sure :). So you see, God is looking out for
Judy and I. Judy is a little aggravated that she has to go back to work
now LOL, since she found out she was getting vacation pay hehehe.
We could of maybe done or gone somewhere if we’d known that :).
Oh well, she had a lot of time to rest and hehehe get lazy with two
weeks off. Back to the grind stone tomorrow for her. My world never
changes though LOL. I have been doing as always, laundry, cooking,
cleaning (ok not much cleaning lately hehe) and waiting on Judy as
I have always done. We have enjoyed this time together, yet it must
come to an end and back to the old routine. Yet Judy will be working
Monday through Friday until the diner is cleaned and ready for opening.
Then she will most likely go back to the weird schedule she had before.
It seems my world always looks the same. Oh well, I guess it could
be worse :). I’ve made a ton of new friends on Bebo, FaceBook and
MySpace lately as well as on Tagged. Never can have too many friends.
I always welcome new friends. There are so many people in the world
and we often think they are all kinds of different than us, yet they may
just speak another language. Our hearts are often the same. There
are many out there that are cruel, but in the same breath there are also
a lot of good people out there. I have met a ton of them. People that
wish to help us out without a price tag. People that you can count on
no matter what the problem is. Just to be there with a prayer is enough
for me. Hey hehehe I may have stumbled upon a new title for a poem,
but time will tell LOL. My mom sent me pictures of my Paw paw and
Grandmother the other day. I am so thrilled to finally have pictures
of them I can hang up. I love them both dearly. They were as second
parents to me for most of my growing up. Paw Paw taught me how to
ride a bike, drive a car, shoot a gun, yet he was wishing he had never
taken me hunting after him finding out I didn’t like to kill things and
I shooed away a rabbit he was aiming at to shoot and kill for dinner :).
Me and Paw paw used to fish the night away out on Lake Tawakanii
and for some reason I didn’t mind killing and cleaning fish LOL. I do
love fish ya know hehehehe. They taste great :). Grandmother taught
me how to cook, yet she said for me to taste and add until it taste right.
Paw paw passed away in 1989, hut Grandmother is still kicking at the
age of 102 LOL. I call her once in a while and we chat. To think of all
that she has seen in her life time is an amazement. I can look back on
my life and see all of the wonderful things I have enjoyed while being
with my family. God has been good to me. We many times will only
see the bad things until we step back and take a breath. Sometimes
we’re just too clouded by the moments to see the good that has been
done. Have you gotten lost in the sadness and lost track of the good
that God has done for you? If so, then take a step back from the
moments of now and look back at all that you have experienced.
They may have been fleeting moments, but the fact is, without them,
you would not be here. Thank God for the fleeting moments that
you’ve seen through time. Now I guess it’s time for me to begin my
little journey back through all I’ve written to search for a word or
a phrase to use for today’s brand new poem, so it’s away I go back
to that place of recollection. To that place of rememberance that
I like to call RECOLLECT VILLE, but is seems I may use what
I had stumbled on before. So here goes nothing, but I hope not :).

There With A Prayer

Scenes in a jumble
may be surmised
as a mere journey
of where’s, when’s a why’s.
Times we will travel
with mind also foot
and end with troubles
all covered with soot.
There with a prayer
ones come and behold
all of the blessings
that cannot be sold.
So many sequences
said and then done
were all the blessings
come from God’s Son.
So if you’re troubled
with times not so fair,
remember that God is
there with a prayer.

Well, there ya go! Hope ya liked the poem hehehe as well as all of my
rambling LOL. If ya didn’t then so be it hehehehehe. I can’t please
everybody. Ok so I guess I have said about all that is to be said in the
journal above, so I guess I need to be telling you about what I did not
mention and that is, I wrote some more poems and haikus. Yeppers
I also wrote a couple of wintry Christmas style poems also and along
with all that I also have 12 Yoville haiku to add with the 22 that I wrote
for here hehehe. So all in all I have once again 10 poems and 22 haiku
plus 12 hehe :). Ya got a lot to read huh. I can hear your thoughts as
I write saying how on Earth does this guy come up with all of these
poems and haiku!!!!? hehe. The answer is God gave me this gift and
mine is not to question why, but to use what He gave to me freely and
so I do. I hope you like a few of the poems and haikus. Now I must
be searching for that old off switch, but before I do that I must wish
you a most wonderful week. Remember Jesus loves you and we do too.
Now where’s that dag gum off switch hiding this week hehehehehe?
Found it!!! It was tangled in my snarled up uncombed hair LOL :).
See ya, CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

God bless from Bill and Judy Pearce

P.S. I almost forgot, I also wrote a poem by request about a girl
named Roxanne which I found out later after I wrote the poem was
the lady’s daughter that passed away about 6 years ago. So I have
11 poems not 10 :).

Now on with the poems and haiku
10 +1 and 22 +12 😉 hehehe

Roxanne

This name seems to jingle
as rhythms of words
fluttering softly
as a flock of blue birds.
I’ve never seen her
and never bestowed
this little gal
as many words flowed.
Roxanne is a journey
of timeless portrayed
as one of many
I never have made.
I’ve heard this name
that was asked if I can
write a little poem
about this girl named Roxanne.

Hearing unites us
to places we see
connecting our feelings
to what that will be.
Hearing though silenced
leaves feeling alone
to do what it can
with a moment of tone.
It’s the vibration
that balances view
connecting emotions
to then and anew.
Hearing unites us,
yet some has no sound
when it is muffled
by all there around.
That is when feeling
and sensing steps in
to do what our hearing
cannot then begin.

Passing through phases
we sometimes will find
pages of timeframes
that seem with a sign.
Sometimes our journeys
will not be our best
as we go doing
our daily conquest.
People will see us
and maybe not know
that we’re just trying
to find where to go.
Passing through phases
we sometimes will fall
as we each stumble
through times weary hall.
God will be with you
through phases you see
if you will try to
in His Son agree.
Surely you’ll falter
with efforts of time,
but He will be there
to strengthen your mind.

Winter is running
with feet in the wind
in a big hurry
for it to begin.
Fall colors shining
are now day to day,
but soon the wind will
blow them away.
Right now the colors
are crisp shining true
as many leaves
are a colorful hue.
Red yellow auburn
with a little mixed green
seems to enhance
each beautiful scene.
Yet winter’s running
and coming real fast
with its own display
of shadows to cast.

In many sections
are found me and you
there in the middle
what we really do.
In many pathways
ones don’t understand
as they will see us
in times of demand.
Laces of footwork
will fill up their sight
maybe with feelings
that are not quite right.
In many sections
are found to and fro
you and I daily
with what that we know.
Yet there are many
that look in despair,
while they may think that
we just do not care.

Stairs to tomorrow
are footprints each day
gathered by moments
of our will and way.
Many situations
will determine our view
and at the same time
decide what we do.
The stairs we’re climbing
might seem too high
yet they are needed
to get us each by.
Times in each sequence
are flavorful found
given in context
of all there around.
Sometimes the flavors
are bitter by taste
yet they are needed
to lessen the waste.

I can feel Christmastime
deep down inside
as it awakens
its joyful time ride.
I can feel the feeling
of the essence I know
of all the blessings
of Christmastime snow.
I can feel the moment
that’s coming to be
and it is Christmastime
for you and me.
I can feel happiness
growing December
as I can each day
sort of remember.
Blessings from childhoods
timeless design
I can remember
those times oh so fine.
Painted as pictures,
yet they’re reality
of what’s remembered
of Christmas and me.

Hold tight your prayer
as time goes its way
and don’t forget
to take time to pray.
Let not the moments
to tear you into.
Kneel down to Jesus
and He will help you.
Hold tight to blessings
that come in a way,
such as the moments
that come day by day.
Minutes of burdens
will come time again,
but Jesus will be there
to help with the pain.
Hold tight your prayer
as time goes on by
and then remember
for you He did die.
When time is trouble
and painting your view
take time to pray
to The One who loves you.

Paved are the highways
leading nowhere,
yet many drive on
without a care.
These are the lifestyles
paved as a road
highways to nowhere
times heavy load.
Paved as a venture
journeyed to see
time is the picture
and it’s you and me.
Paved are mind games
leading no place
but to a moments
sad weary face.
So many highways
journeyed so real,
many will try to
daily conceal.
Yet surely journeys
highways designs
will show in minutes
of unwanted times.

Peace is a place
that so many seek
monthly, daily
week after week.
It is a concept
not understood
and many end up
bad over good.
Many seek peace
with versions they know,
yet they will often
be first to blow.
Peace is a place
which ones can arrive
by adding Jesus
to daily survive.
Letting the blessings
of God deep within
can in a way then
make peace begin.

Soon is awakened
with what’s ahead
words of the wonders
done and not said.
Soon is a blessing
briskly to find
painted as moments
awakened design.
Similar minutes
might of been true,
yet soon will be
a moment brand new.
Soon is awakened
thresholds desire
flavored with passions
time of entire.
Ticking are seconds
minutes and hours
to see what soon will
be what empowers.
Soon is awakened
with what’s ahead
with all the blessings
to daily embed.

So, how was your week last week and your weekend? It’s been
a very screwy one for us to say the least! The week started off
with Sunday nights fire. Yes, fire! Judy’s place of business burned
last Sunday night. Now Judy is out of work and on Unemployment
or better yet hehe, waiting for it. To top that off, our anniversary
was Oct 2 (Friday) and we were both sick and unable to celebrate.
We were going to try to celebrate Saturday, but she was still sick.
Oh well, it was just an anniversary :(! The weather up this ways
has and is still on the rainy side as also the cold side. We’re hoping
that Gary the owner of the Elm Tree is able to rebuild so Judy can
go back to work. Time will tell. With the rain and all, I’m sure it
will make it hard to build. Life up here in Northeastern Maine is
showing signs of winter more every day. Fall is coming in quickly
and Judy and I are hoping that the weather conditions will slack
down a bit as well as the being sick and all so we can go out and
take some more pictures. Until then, we will just have to wait.
We did get to spend all day together on our anniversary, yet we
both were weary and weak and spent most of the day recouping.
Life in the Pearce’s household has been a rather boring one for
the last few days. Judy has been down in the dumps (depressed
if you will) about the diner and all, but if all goes well, the diner
should be up and running again soon. That might of been what
added to her being sick Friday, Saturday and today. Depression
can effect people in weird ways. Today it looks as though it will
rain all day, so we will be just spending time together and maybe
watch a movie or two. We watched some episodes of ALF last
night on DVD hehehe. That seemed to cheer us both up :). We
might watch some more ALF today along with a movie or two :).
We are both hoping that things get better before the Christmas
holidays come around. Can’t be sad for Christmas Ho Ho Ho ;).
Yeppers, Christmas is our favorite time of year. Surely things
will have gotten cleared up by then. We are both doing a lot of
praying for God’s will to be done. We both know that God is
always there and never wishes harm to anyone. Yet we do know
that sometimes bad has to happen so to make us to see the good!
Many things happen only due to our humanity. Life has its many
roller coaster rides and some are deadly, yet all will be well in
The Hands of God. We don’t see the end results. We only see
what is before our eyes. God sees much beyond that. We both
know that it will all work out for us, yet our humanity makes us
to worry. I pray quite often to God, yet I’m sure He has a great
memory and does not need to be reminded of my needs, hehehe
but I do anyway. We all do, from time to time. Lessons come
from our folly. Keep Judy and I in your prayers as we struggle
with the days ahead. I’m sure God will make things OK. In the
mean time hehehehe, I will continue with my onslaught of writing.
I hope it doesn’t bore ya to tears LOL! Well, I guess it’s time
for me to begin my venture back through all I have written to
that place of recollection in search of a word or phrase that I
can use for the title for today’s brand new poem. So, it’s away
I go to that place that I like to call RECOLLECT VILLE :).
I believe I found a good title for today’s poem. Now let’s see
what I can do with it……..Here goes!

To Be Reminded

The seconds that pour
as grains of white sand
are moments we’ve prayed
for times to withstand.
Handfuls of minutes
counted just right
are all the seconds
that we wish delight.
God has no need
to be reminded each day
what that we’re needing
to come in our way.
The seconds that pour
as grains of white sand
are held real tightly
in the palm of God’s Hand.
We though will stumble
while wanting so true
what we thinks better
for me and for you.

I hope that made sense to ya :). I never know if what I’m writing
is coming across clear. Ok, so I do once in a while hehehehehe
when someone will write me to tell me! But most times I’m just
trusting that God will help you to understand. Back on the wheels
of life here at the Pearce’s. Yeppers, we will be OK. I know that
God is watching over us as He always has. Nobody said life was
supposed to be thornless hehehe. It is a bed of roses ya know LOL.
I have spent a little extra time this week writing a bit more haiku
for my YoVille messages hehehe. I hope they don’t get to always
expecting that much haiku LOL, cause it ain’t gonna happen!!!!!
Well, I took a few pictures outside a little bit ago to make as the
stationary for this and I had a thought, why not add one or two
of the pictures that we took while in Houlton the other day. I got
some good pictures of the moose statue at the little park in town.
The statue is supposed to be life size. If so, I don’t wanna come
up against that moose!!!!! That things ENORMOUS. Yet I do
want to one day see a bull moose, but if it’s that big, then I hope
and pray that it’s seen from a distance LOL. I good distance :).
I guess it’s about time for me to begin searching for the bloody
off switch again, but before I do, I guess I need to tell you about
the poems and haiku I’ve written this week hehehehehe actually
yesterday (Saturday). I wrote yet another 10 poems and 22 haiku
to go along with the, get this, 17 YoVille haiku messages hehe.
So all in all I’ve written 39 haiku :)…. Also amongst the poems
are 2 Christmas poems. Enjoy!!! Now I must wish you a most
wonderful week. Remember Jesus loves you and we do too.
Now where’s that off switch hiding this time hehehehehehehe.
It don’t actually hide. I just keep forgetting where I left it LOL.
I found it, I found it!! Right there in front of my eyes or should
I say my eye hehehe,,,,,,,,? None the less, have a great week.
See ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

God bless from Bill and Judy Pearce

Now on with the poems
10 and 22 + 17 🙂

A Better View

When a storm
has came to you,
you might learn then
something new.
When a problem
seems too large
then let Jesus
to take charge.
When your blessings
seem too small
take some time
to view them all.
When a minute
seems too long
take a breath
and sing along.
When your passion
falls from you
seek to find
a better view.

In through doorways
time will come
bringing minutes
then and done.
Time will enter
with its phase
coming from
the future days.
Lines of fractions
lay in wait
in through doorways
time and date.
Minutes counted
might be found
as the timeframes
coming round.
Link by link
connects each view
that is making
me and you.

Behind a problem
might be some good
that for the moment’s
misunderstood.
Within our torment
might be a flower
waiting to shine
in its finest hour.
Forest of troubles
might seem to hide
all of the goodness
that’s hidden inside.
Winds might be blowing
times really hard,
but they might blow
some good in your yard.
Struggles encountered
might seem insane,
but some are needed
to give you a gain.

Scented reflections
of time so sweet
seem to encompass
a times tasty treat.
Billows of flavors
inside of my mind
make the reflections
real easy to find.
Memories scented
with thens other day
finds ways of painting
a wonderful way.
Christmastimes joyful
found in some scenes
is what that’s scented
with tall evergreens.
All the reflections
found within me
await every moment
to be what I see.
I find the timeframes
reflecting on cue
are what will soon be
surely so true.

Lists on some paper
ones may put in line
things they remember
of time after time.
Some may be printed
with word after word
things ones remember
that’s seen, done and heard.
Yet it’s those moments
of day after day
that might need faded
from paper today.
Some we remember,
might need be forgotten
for it paints pictures
of always so rotten.
List on some paper
the good days apart,
then you might find some
good in your heart.

Mornings are dawning
with sunshiny skies
and maybe essence
of clouds to surmise.
The new days arrival
is pictured detail
of maybe mornings
of leaves all set sail.
Dawns early lighting
is found in a way
as the beginnings
of another fine day.
Mornings are blooming
as flowers in spring
while it displays each
wonderful thing.
Each moments journey
begins its design
as morning dawns each
wonderful time.

Jumbled up blessings
in mesmerized views
make our opinions
for yesterdays news.
Many times blessings
are unsorted scenes
leaving us wondering
what many things mean.
Jumbled up moments
that come down our way
may be the blessings
that each day we’d pray.
Jumbled emotions
might fall into place
if we’d allow them
to be saved by Grace.
Letting Lord Jesus
to make better views
by us each changing
our falses and trues.

Knowledge is power
yet many will lie
and tell you daily
what they just deny.
Many have knowledge
that ones disapprove
due to them being
in a much different groove.
Knowledge that’s stumbling
not wanting to know
leaves many standing
with no way to grow,
being that many will
act so to say
that they have knowledge
much better each day.
Knowledge is power,
yet many will die
as they go onwards
while living a lie.

Soon there is coming
the sight of a sleigh
bringing those presents
for sweet Christmas Day.
Santa will shout out
soon you will find
toys in your stockings
with many designs.
Santa will also
shout in the night
Ho Ho Ho Ho
it’s yours to delight.
Soon Santa’s coming
to deliver some toys
to good little girls
and good little boys.
Christmas will jingle
its wonderful tune
that Santa’s coming
and he’ll be here soon.
Songs will be playing
as many will sing
while we are waiting
for what he will bring.
Santa will come down
the chimney at night
to give the twinkle
of his Ho Ho sight.
Then around the tree
he’ll lay and he’ll stack
toys that he got
right out of his sack.
Maybe a soldier
tiny and green
or maybe just maybe
a little submarine.
Maybe for the girl
a sweet little dolly
that when it’s squeezed
will say hello mommy.
Soon there is coming
that wonderful time
that I remember
of Christmas so fine.

The path of a striver
is real clear to see
such as the footprints
through their history.
One that’s a striver
will sometimes befall
troubles that happen
to us one and all.
The paths many see
might sort of display
ways of surrounding
with troubles each day.
Yet if the striver
keeps a clear mind
one day the blessings
their pathways will find.
Make all your striving
from here unto there
guided by Jesus
an answered by prayer.
The path of a striver
should seek for the best
found in the pathways
times daily quest.
